This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab sounds so epic! A divided city with monsters? Count me in! I love the idea that one of the main characters is human, while the other is a monster. Though I have yet to read Victoria Schwab’s other books (I know, it’s horrible. I just don’t have the time!), I can tell that this is going to be incredible.
This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab
Title: This Savage SongAuthor: V.E. Schwab
Publisher: Greenwillow Books
Publication Date: July 5, 2016
There’s no such thing as safe in a city at war, a city overrun with monsters. In this dark urban fantasy from author Victoria Schwab, a young woman and a young man must choose whether to become heroes or villains—and friends or enemies—with the future of their home at stake. The first of two books.
Kate Harker and August Flynn are the heirs to a divided city—a city where the violence has begun to breed actual monsters. All Kate wants is to be as ruthless as her father, who lets the monsters roam free and makes the humans pay for his protection. All August wants is to be human, as good-hearted as his own father, to play a bigger role in protecting the innocent—but he’s one of the monsters. One who can steal a soul with a simple strain of music. When the chance arises to keep an eye on Kate, who’s just been kicked out of her sixth boarding school and returned home, August jumps at it. But Kate discovers August’s secret, and after a failed assassination attempt the pair must flee for their lives.
Book Quotes: This Savage Song
I mean, most people want to escape. Get out of their heads. Out of their lives. Stories are the easiest way to do that.
The beautiful thing about books was that anyone could open them.
It was a cruel trick of the universe, thought August, that he only felt human after doing something monstrous.

Victoria Schwab writes really well and so far, I’ve loved everything I’ve read by her, so I’m hoping this one will be great too. I’m not a big fan of the cover, but that’s probably just me XD. The blurb though sounds amazing!
